nor(DEV): con 2024 :: Workshop - Go Get Better

The nor(DEV): con Workshops Day returns in 2024.

***

In this session, we'll explore the programming language Go (aka golang).

Go (or golang) is a relatively new C like language that is seeing a lot of popularity these days. Known for its speed and concurrency mechanisms, Go is a great choice of language for many tasks these days.

Here's what we've got lined up for you:

• Meet & Greet: You're not alone in this journey! Swap stories, share tips, and make some new friends along the way.
• An introduction to Go: What is Go and why should I care?
• The Basics: Hello, world! Fizzbuzz, and beyond!
• Interfaces: If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, then it's a duck.
• Pointers: And the joyful lack of pointer arithmatic.
• Concurrency: The jewel in the Go crown.
• And much, much more: It'll be a whistlestop tour, but Go has a lot to offer.

This workshop is for those familiar with programming - whether you're just starting out or you're already familiar and looking to level up your skills.

If you've ever considered Go, or just want to know more then come along as we give you a crash course in writing concurrent programs in Go. Join us, and Dom, and let's take the journey.

About your tutor, Dom.
Dom Davis is a veteran of The City and a casualty of The Financial Crisis. Not content with bringing the world to its knees he then went off to help break the internet before winding up in Norfolk where he messes about doing development and devops. Dom has been writing code since his childhood sometime in the last millennium – he hopes some day to become good at it.

Dom is an enthusiastic and impassioned speaker [read: he gabbles] who uses a blend of irreverent sarcasm and flippant humour to bring complex subjects to a broad audience. Whether or not they understand him is up for debate, but he likes to believe they do.
